Knob Creek 18 Year Old is a limited release and the oldest expression from Knob Creek to-date. It was released in 2022 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Knob Creek and the Small Batch Bourbon Collection. A second release hit shelves in Fall 2023.
Knob Creek 18 Year Old is aged twice as long as Knob Creek’s flagship 9-year old bourbon and is bottled without chill filtration at 100 proof. Its extended aging in Kentucky rickhouses contributes to its rich copper color and unique flavor profile, featuring notes of caramelized oak, sweet vanilla, and a warm finish.
It is bottled at 100 proof, and follows the release of Knob Creek 15 Year Old, which was released in 2020 and 2021. It joins only a handful of limited releases with similar age statements across the marketplace. Heaven Hill’s 90-proof Elijah Craig 18 Year Old is probably the best-known and most widely available 18-year bourbon.
